Leading the way is Louis Vuitton and Prada with looks that emulate the sophisticated fashions of the Mad Men 1960s era. Bustier tops, cinched waists, and curve hugging pencil skirts are just a few staples that make this one of the season’s most accessible looks. Dresses are also in full swing, and I do mean full, below the knee, and voluptuous. Curvy catwalkers such as Lara Stone, Doutzen Kroes and actress Christina Hendricks personify the lady-like trend.

We Suggest…

  • Paige Black Label pencil skirt
  • A romantic Rory Beca silk top
  • Brave Belts to cinch the waist and create curves
  • To complete the look try adding one statement piece of jewelry like CC Skye’s Pave Pyramid Stud Earrings.
  • Coming into Ishara to find out what works best for YOU!

So whether you anxiously anticipate fashion’s favorite season or cling to summer’s relaxed dress code, here are our tips to carry the best of your summer wardrobe through to Fall…

DO- Make your favorite summer dress last by adding an oversized cardigan. Cinch with a belt for a chic finish. Try White and Warren premium cashmere paired with a Brave Belt from Ishara.

DO- Add warm accessories. Scarves, hats, and black tights easily carry an outfit into fall.

DO- Grab a pair of leggings/jeggings and layer up! The perfect match for short, flirty dresses or long tees. Build layers around the same color scheme. Try Shirimiri London Leggings $70-138+tax at Ishara.

DO- Embrace the faux fur frenzy. It’s a fun addition to any look for a price that won’t break the bank!

DO- Add a matte finish to bright nail polish. The subdued hue makes any color suitable for fall. Try Butter London’s Matte Finish Shine Free Topcoat $22+tax at Ishara.

DON’T- Put away bright colored pieces – an unexpected pop of color brightens a neutral outfit.

DON’T- Be caught wearing flip-flops or beachy sandals year round!

DON’T- Wear clothing that is too small, too big or too revealing! Wear clothing that flatters your figure and don’t worry about the size.
